Personalizing Your Home Screen: Widgets

Widgets put at-a-glance important information and media content up front on your Home screen. A wide selection of widgets is available, such as Bookmarks, Calendar, Messages, Music, Photo album, Twitter, and more.

Some of the widgets are already added to your Home screen for your convenience. You can rearrange, remove, or add more widgets as you please.

Adding a widget

If you are not on the Home screen, press HOME.

Tap the + button on the lower-right corner of the Home screen.

In the Add to Home options menu, tap HTC widget. (You can also select Android widget.)

Tap to select a widget from the list of HTC widgets.

Most HTC widgets are available in a variety of designs and sizes to suit your needs. Tap the right or left arrow button at the bottom of the screen to view the different styles and choose one.

You can also add widgets that allow you to quickly switch on or off certain settings of your phone, such as Wi-Fi, Mobile network, Bluetooth, and more. Scroll down the HTC widgets list, tap Settings, and then tap the widget that you want.

Moving a widget

Press and hold the widget you want to reposition to activate Edit mode. When Edit mode is activated, the widget magnifies and the phone vibrates.

Without lifting your finger, drag the widget to the desired part of the Home screen, and then release it.

To move the widget to another screen of your Home screen, press and hold the widget and then drag it to the left or right edge of the current screen until the display shifts. Position the widget on the area that you want, and then release it.

Removing a widget

Press and hold the widget you want to remove to activate Edit mode. When Edit mode is activated, the widget magnifies and the phone vibrates.

Drag the widget to the Phone button (The Phone button changes into the Remove button.)
